Women and Friendships
Next week I start a womens study group, I am looking forward to learning more about how to be a healthy friend. I attract women with needs and I am daily put on the test with these women. I realize we all are needy somewhat, but the fact that I draw these women is a question I am hoping to have answered somewhere along the way. I have heard that those who are needy attract the needy, yet I am doubtful that this is me. Being open about this is a must because I really need to know how to befriend and listen. Often they seem to want answers, yet when I give them, they react. Over the past few years I have discovered that they don't want answers, therefore I avoid much conflict by practicing the listening, asking questions, leading to God and praying. It works sometimes yet many times I still tend to carry some of the load and it becomes burdensome. Burdensome friends become tiring and exhausting. I am excited to start the study and am sad to miss out on the first week because of traveling plans.
This is the book we plan to use...The Friendships of Women
